Customer Review Rate and Review this Product: 3 people wrote reviews 9 people rated this item Scott Eivins from Missouri Overall Ranking: Overall: Sound: Quality: Reliability: Action: Finish: Playability: Tone: Subject: great guitar Quality: The PC1 is a well made guitar. Once it's setup, I see no reason that it can't be a guitar you can use for a lifetime. The materials and construction are of high quality. Sound: Sounds very good. Works for Rock, Country, Blues, and Metal. All 3 pickups are useful. Reliability: I have 3 of these and all have stood up over time. Other than the gold hardware tarnishing, the guitars play and sound better as they get older. Overall: Very good guitar. Well made, quality tonewoods, excellent fit. Playability and Feel: The neck is not a "shredder" neck inasmuch as it isn't a thin necked Ibanez. The neck is full, but not baseball like. The guitar plays well out of the box. As I have a guitar repair shop, it is easy for me to set it up to my personal preferences. Once this is done, it has become one of my favorites. Tone: The sustainer pickup is smooth and clean. Not a real distinct pickup, but very usable for clean sounds. Middle pickup is useful for those "in between" sounds. The bridge pickup is very useful. Works well with both clean and dirty amps. I'm running Soldano's and Jet City amps and the bridge pickup is very versatile. You can achieve lots of sounds by using the volume control on guitar. Not a extreme metal guitar, but could be if you sourced the right pickups. Finish: The finish looked great. However, upon inspection there were 3 finish cracks. (2) were in the neck pocket, which is common for Jackson guitars. The other finish was on the face of the guitar at the top of neck pocket. For a $2500.00 guitar, it shouldn't be there. I contacted AMS and they rectified the issue. It wasnt their fault, but they took care of the issue. The back of the neck was also very rough. After a little 1200 grit sandpaper, it was smoothed out and very fast. Action: For me the action was ok. With the .010's it could have been a little lower, but was very usable. Nothing a setup couldn't take care of. Skill Level: Pro-Rock Star Do you own this product?: yes Date submitted: 4/22/11 Drew from Derry NH Overall Ranking: Overall: Sound: Quality: Reliability: Action: Finish: Playability: Tone: Subject: Great All Around Guitar Quality: This is where I will rave the most. The VERY first thing I look at with a figured top is the book matching. This is the most perfectly matched top I have seen...maybe ever. Geez...I've seen some PRS tops that aren't matched at all on guitars that go for a few hundred more than this. The figuring of the quilt is also top notch. One very nice surprise and what really makes this guitar is the fretboard. Its a gorgeous yet subtle flamed maple. What a bonus. It isn't really noticeable in the pictures. As for general build, this thing is a tank. I'm pretty sure I could drop this from 7 stories up and pick it right back up and play. Sound: Very bright. There is a lot of maple in this guitar and it shows. Lot of bite and sustain. Single note solos just sing. Reliability: A few days in an no problems yet! This is great considering I bought 2 Parker Niteflys within a week and both had factory defects. Overall: Playability and Feel: Don't get this guitar if you only play those flimsy Ibanez wizard necks. I could remove this neck and use it as a mast on a sailboat if needed. However, it still plays fast for such a thick neck. The raw finish is very silky smooth. The control layout is perfect, allowing quick switching of the sustainer and feedback. Tone: I suppose a minimal complaint would be the super 3 pickup. A guitar with this much maple really does need a thicker and darker voiced pickup to balance things out. That is personal preference. Pick up could have stood being a little hotter as well. Finish: Flawless. No imperfections. Action: Low low LOW. Great shredders action right out of the case. Neck needed a bit of relief but this is normal for a guitar that has traveled or been shipped. Skill Level: Intermediate Do you own this product?: Its all mine.
